Claremont is a Victorian style granny square with join. I have used it to make 2 different sweater designs which I made as part of my “Design & Make Your Own Sweater Course”. It looks fantastic in a classic, off white cotton but would also look good in any, solid colour. With a simple border, I think this motif would make a beautiful throw or blanket.
Tools & Materials
You can use any yarn weight and corresponding hook size but for these instructions (see examples below), I am using a Light DK / Sport weight yarn in one colour with a 4mm / G hook (Paintbox Yarn DK Cotton in Champagne White).
When making a project with this motif, for the best results, use one, solid colour. The mesh style join creates an attractive design element along the edges and at the corners of motif, especially where four motifs converge. If you use different colours for each motif, this effect is lost.
